Fast &amp; Furious star Michelle Rodriguez fears she'll never make a good mom, because she's too much of "a lone wolf".
The 36-year-old actress, who has reportedly dated Zac Efron and Cara Delevingne in recent months, admits she's holding off on motherhood for as long as she can - or until she can find a father figure for a child.
She tells Interview magazine, "Come on. Look at me! I have absolutely nothing consistent in my life. But that's where serendipity comes in and I love that.
"One day I'm going to have to sacrifice that to bring life into the world. But the more I can hold off on that, the happier I'll be. It's scary for me. I'm a lone wolf. I run by myself on most things.
"I've got lots of really great friends, but the thought of being in a long-lasting relationship? I couldn't last more than six months with somebody, let alone have a father figure around for a kid. I mean, if I could give a kid a father figure, that would be amazing."

Rapper Young Jeezy has been slapped with a lawsuit from the Hells Angels over claims his clothing line copies their famous logo. Bosses at the notorious motorcycle club have instructed lawyers to sue the hip-hop star, alleging his 8732 fashion range has a very similar emblem to their 'Death Head' image.
They want the rapper to pull all clothing featuring the design, and are demanding unspecified damages.
Last year (12) the Hells Angels sued skateboarder-turned-reality star Rob Dyrdek over similar claims he stole their logo and plastered it on T-shirts without their permission. Both parties settled out of court for an undisclosed amount in March (13).

Being a joiner is usually considered pretty square, but not when it comes to these groups. From high-minded cultural commentary to conspiracy theories to sexy pretend law enforcement — whatever your interests or skills, we've got a TV club you'll just be dying to get into.
The Office — Finer Things Club
Before it was broken up by the same office politics it was created to avoid, the Finer Things Club, founded by Pam, Toby, and Oscar, was the "most exclusive club" at Dunder Mifflin. "Naturally, it's where I need to be," says Andy. "The Party Planning Committee is my backup and Kevin's band is my safety."
The X-Files — The Lone Gunmen
Less a club and more of a secret office for conspiracy-obsessed tech nerds, The Lone Gunmen were still beyond cool because they got to hang out with glamorous FBI Agents Mulder and Scully.
Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory
Spending your days cavorting around a giant warehouse turned adult amusement park with X-Games legends and too many celebrities to count? And it's REAL? Where's the membership application?
The Babysitters Club
It was every girl's dream to be a part of "Kristy's Great Idea." The Babysitters were a team of tween best friends who endured all their G-rated coming-of-age issues together, while simultaneously holding down what seemed to be full-time jobs caring for all the children of their entire town.
Parks and Recreation — The Pawnee Goddesses
The Pawnee goddesses get to camp, craft ("Look — I made a Gertrude stein!"), and talk female empowerment with Pawnee's most inspirational civil servant, Leslie Knope. Failing that, can we get in on Tom and Donna's annual "Treat Yo'self Day"?
The Simpsons — The Stonecutters
It's not all human sacrifices at these secret meetings of the most powerful men in Springfield. Sometimes there's a really catchy production number.

In an episode of the show which aired in August (10), celebrity skateboarder Dyrdek and a pal were seen trying to locate the source of a nasty odour before pointing at a man in a street.
The man, who has not been identified, has now filed papers alleging he did not give permission for his image to be used, and claiming that after the broadcast "friends and relatives began teasing or mocking (him), buying him air freshener."
He also accuses Dyrdek of mocking his "gait", which he insists is caused by a medical condition called "spinal stenosis", according to TMZ.com.
In documents filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court, the man is demanding $25,000 compensation for the embarrassment suffered since the skit aired.

Summary

Though he became famous for being a successful competitive skateboarder, Rob Dyrdek became much more after he moved beyond the world of extreme sports to become a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist and reality show actor. Dyrdek starred in two successful reality series "Rob & Big" (MTV, 2006-08) and "Fantasy Factory" (MTV, 2009- ), which showcased his painstakingly methodical approach to entertainment, business and most importantly, his sport. No idea or stunt was too far-fetched for the funny, likeable and outspoken skateboarder, whether it was attempting numerous Guinness World Records on his shows or creating the Rob Dyrdek/DC Shoes Skate Plaza Foundation, which built safe skate parks around the country. In 2008, Dyrdek ventured into feature films, acting alongside heavyweights Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in "Righteous Kill," proving that even a skateboarder from Ohio had a place among the Hollywood elite.
